This is really unforgivably disgusting and utterly annihilates his reputation. I’m honestly surprised he did this purely from the perspective of self interest. He must have known how bad this was gonna make him look.

When you already know how something works it’s pretty easy to find confirmation everywhere you look. But I wonder why you expect an institution to be perfect? Or why your personal opinion on what is “responsible” spending is at all meaningful? Probably because you feel it’s “taxpayers’ money” so your special status as…

Probably doesn’t know the difference between Niger and Nigeria, either.

Seriously. Get the fuck out with this concern trolling on Ivanka’s behalf.

In 20 years if Sasha Obama is an advisor to a president and wants to lie about her youth, she should be held to account too.

The article clearly states he did not. He has no criminal record in the US.

What are you talking about, any idiot—even the Taoiseach or a Teachta Dála—could pronounce Saorse Ó Riagháin.

Oh, shut the fuck up.

When you see drama: remember distraction.

The Values Voters Summit is the annual conference of the Family Research Council - an organization so toxic no sitting president (even GW Bush) has ever attended, much less addressed them, as they are a listed hate group.

Along with his pal Bibi, Trump withdrew the United States from UNESCO. Really.
